Introduces students to the field of Radiologic Technology. This course covers the medical imaging fundamentals, terminology, ethics, the clinical environment, and the law as it pertains to medical imaging. Students are able to spend a total of 40-hours in a clinical setting, rotating through various radiology modalities, observing and assisting healthcare professionals within these departments. Students are required to submit to health and criminal background clearances in order to work at the clinical sites. In addition, students are required to take the PACS Administrators Registry and Certification Association (PARCA) and the Certified PACS Associate (CPAS) clinical exam at the conclusion of this course. A course fee is required. 352
Provides students with knowledge of the various medical imaging modalities. Students are taught how images are generated, the typical exam types, the basic operational procedures for exams, and the image characteristics for each modality’s exams. In addition, this course covers image processing, viewing, and quality control (QC)/quality assurance (QA) for each modality. Prerequisite: RADI 104 with a grade of C or higher; completion of MATH 091 with a grade of C or higher, or placement through the College Placement and Testing Program.
Provides students with operational skills for both PC and Server-side Operating Systems. This course covers the basics of PC hardware functions and operational skills as students are taught terminology and how to properly install hardware components used in a desktop and server in a radiology environment. Students perform Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) routine server maintenance and are required to take the PACS Administrators Registry and Certification Association (PARCA) and the Certified PACS Associate (CPAS) technical exam at the conclusion of this course. A course fee is required. Co-requisite: CNT 120.
4:3:2
2:2:0 (EHR) Introduces students to the foundational concepts of the electronic health record (EHR) and builds upon the concepts covered in RADI 100 and 101 pertaining to the picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) interface, digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM), and Health Level 7 (HL7) language. This course also builds upon Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) knowledge taught in RADI 101. Prerequisite: RADI 100 and 101 with grades of C or higher.
2.5:2:1.5 (CPACS) Introduces students to the Cardiology picture archiving and communication systems (CPACS) components, workflow, and administration functions related to radiology informatics. A course fee is required. Co-requisite: RADI 202.
Involves the creation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure and implement a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for a healthcare environment. Students create a “PACS Plan” that involves designing an imaging department, evaluating PACS vendors, selecting a PACS, integrating the selected PACS within the enterprise environment that is most appropriate for the student’s plan, and communicating with the PACS implementation team. This project requires students to consider budgets, installation or hardware/software, policies and procedures, and end-user training. Prerequisite: RADI 202 with a grade of C or higher. 353
31 Note: A grade of C or higher is required for all RADI courses. RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE FOR FULL-TIME STUDENTS Part time students can complete this program by taking one or more courses each semester.
